Question Need Feedback, Please (Haters welcome)

Okay - I'm getting rid of the OEM's 18" on my 2011 550 ix black sapphire metallic (finally).

I'd like to invest a little and put the HRE S101 19'' wheels on (see picture).

Thoughts? Comments? Cool? Stupid?

Thanks!

Or these . . . .

The S101s are around $1,400.00 - $2,300.00 a piece.

So, maybe for the Ferrari.

What about the TSW Nuremberg or the Croft Gunmetal?

I think it would look nice, very light looking. Great feature is that the inner surface behind the spokes looks to be already black, same color after the brake dust builds up.

I like them, although I think the exposed connector look is too 80's, honestly.

I don't like dark wheels in general because I think they make cars look cheap - but those are the best ones I've seen. If I got a car with those I would not replace them immediately

I'd prefer non black spokes. The inside could be black- which helps with brake dust camouflage. I'm looking into the bbs rx-r wheels ~$700/ 20" wheel. (you can find videos of them on YouTube in action. The come in black too. ) those tsw wheels are tempting.
